After a safari briefing with our representative, board your open-roof vehicle and journey to the Aberdare region. Transfer to Aberdare National Park and spend the afternoon at Treetops Lodge. Elevated on stilts, the lodge overlooks a saltwater watering hole that attracts wildlife around the clock, providing a prime vantage point for observing the savanna’s majestic creatures.
This morning, travel to Nakuru and enjoy some leisure time before lunch. The afternoon is dedicated to a safari around Lake Nakuru, a haven for 400 bird species migrating from Europe and Asia. The lake’s blue-green hue and one of the world’s largest cactus forests set a breathtaking scene. As the sun illuminates this natural amphitheater, witness the graceful flight of pink flamingo colonies gliding across the water.
Set out for the famed Masai Mara Game Reserve. Spend the afternoon exploring the reserve, where elephants, zebras, wildebeest, Thomson and Grant's gazelles, buffalos, giraffes, and hippos thrive in the boundless savanna. After your 4x4 safari, relax at a riverside lodge near the Mara River, where hippos can occasionally be spotted basking in the water.
Today, take to the skies for an extraordinary hot air balloon safari. As the first rays of sunlight appear, watch the balloon fill with air before gently lifting off over the plains. Giraffes nibbling treetops, gazelles grazing, and cheetahs scanning the horizon from the grass below will be within sight. After an hour-long flight, land for a sumptuous bush breakfast featuring grilled delicacies and sparkling wine, a traditional toast to this unforgettable experience.
Enjoy a morning safari in the reserve before heading to the airport for a flight to Mombasa, Kenya’s oldest city, steeped in rich history dating back to Vasco da Gama’s arrival in 1498. Upon arrival at Ukunda airstrip, transfer privately to your hotel. After settling in, enjoy the rest of your afternoon at leisure.
